A picnic lunch is recommended as one activity for the entire family. One picnic facility is available in Poly Canyon located at the entrance to the design village next to the creek. This is the only designated picnic area. Additional sites may be used, but are no tables or trashcans. Be advised that you must keep your area clean and free of trash. Bring a blanket, plenty of water and find a level spot off one of the trails.
